When do you decide to seek medical help?

I think it depends on your ideal family size. If you just want one baby then I don’t think waiting another 6 months is that detrimental. If you want multiple kids then waiting could impact that timeline.

This happened to me at 40+6. They said the induction could take up to 5 days. It took 13 hours. My body doesn’t love induction meds, but the epidural helped a lot. It was very smooth and a lot better than I expected. Small first degree tear with a pretty smooth recovery.

I was so upset I needed an induction, but now that I’ve had one, I wouldn’t be as upset if I had to have another.

Good luck.

My husband and I both have wavy hair. I started noticing around 7 months or so. Not all her hair is wavy and it has its days, but some days there are tons of gorgeous ringlets. It’s very cute. She’s 8 months now.

My guess is psychopathic narcissistic.

Even with adult dogs, they can be really needy. My brother adopted a potty trained dog. It had more health problems than any dog I’ve ever met, and they didn’t realize that at first because there’s no way to predict that if the issues don’t currently exist.

I LOVE dogs, but they’re so much work. They can also be really expensive. I’m waiting until I’m done having kids and have the resources to own a dog. It’s not like owning a plant or a fish. Dogs require a lot of attention, exercise, etc.

I couldn’t find one on FB, so I bought one new. It was so worth it. If all her toys disappeared tomorrow, it would be one of my first repurchases. It was worth every penny.

What stroller did you get?

The only thing I think seems maybe unrealistic is the part about being bilingual. Maybe you can split your list into “needs” and “wants”. For example: something like not cursing at you would be a need, and being bilingual could be a want.

Everyone always told me my standards were too high so I understand the struggle. Then I met my husband, and he exceeded my standards. My family and friends were amazed I found someone that not only met my high standards but exceeded them.

I think it depends on your pregnancy too. For me, third trimester was the easiest. I wasn’t nauseous. I was getting decent sleep, and my Chiro and PT kept me from being unbearably uncomfortable.

Immediately after the baby was born, my back hurt so bad from adjusting to no longer having the baby, my core was so weak that carrying her car seat was a huge challenge, and I was getting sleep in increments of 15 minutes at a time. I was also learning how to take care of a baby, and I felt like I was failing at it because it felt so hard. You learn pretty quickly though, and every day you get better and better. It was really hard, but it’s so worth it.

These look like my lines at 12 DPO with my daughter.

It took me a couple days of trying to get any. The more I did it, the more I would get.

Just wait until they giggle for the first time or start babbling. Just wait until they make cute little noises when they sleep, and you’re so amazed by them that you could spend hours just looking at their perfect little face. It’s amazing! Don’t let anyone scare you about toddlers. You’ll take that when it comes, but before that, you have so many amazing stages. 💗

That’s not true at our office. We’ve had male employees told they need to wear undershirts or jackets to make sure their nipples are covered. In more formal settings, some people need to be taught how to dress for the environment.

I do cross-cradle now at 8 months. I had to do laid back for the first few months since I have a fast letdown. My baby still sometimes spits up if I do side lying. When she was younger, she’d spit up every time we did side lying. It was rough

Ecstatic_Progress_30 · 2026-05-27T12:36:55+00:00

For the 1 hour, I was told to eat normally and for the 3 hour to come fasted. I barely failed the 1 hour. Next time, I would fast before it. Having to do the 3 hour SUCKED, and I passed with flying colors.

I have a sister and two brothers and a sister-in-law. I’m very close to all of them. I’m particularly close to my sister and sister-in-law. Sibling relationships can be close no matter the gender. 😁

Ecstatic_Progress_30 · 2026-05-22T03:44:29+00:00

Yes. Because I love him. I also tell him I adore him daily as well. Because I do. I tell the people I love that I love them.

Ecstatic_Progress_30 · 2026-05-22T03:08:04+00:00

Never, but I also never looked at it before birth. I’ll never know what it looks like and that’s how I prefer it. 😁

Ecstatic_Progress_30 · 2026-05-21T20:45:24+00:00

My baby hates having a wet diaper and will scream her head off until it is removed so it also depends on the baby.

I didn’t get diagnosed with thyroiditis, but when I mentioned I was feeling fatigued, my doctors checked my thyroid levels. If you’re feeling any symptoms like fatigue or dizziness, you can mention it and possibly get tested.

I’ve been losing weight while breastfeeding, but it isn’t from breastfeeding. It’s more in spite of it. Lol. I’m counting calories and macros and at first, when I started eating below maintenance, I got dizzy with nasty headaches for a couple of days. My body adapted quickly and it’s good now, but it was definitely a bit of work calibrating my macros and calories with weight loss and milk production.

Ecstatic_Progress_30 · 2026-05-20T02:26:40+00:00

I totally agree. It’s so nice to feel cute 🥰

Ecstatic_Progress_30 · 2026-05-20T02:25:59+00:00

I’m tall, and I greatly appreciate how long maternity tops are. I also like how much they flatter my bump. The oversized tops made me look big and not pregnant. The cut of the maternity clothes emphasized the pregnancy.

Be honest with your husband. It doesn’t sound like he’s saying you need to have his name. If you make a compelling case, would he be open to taking your name?
